Ardea Resources (OTCMKTS: ARRRF) is an Australian mineral exploration and development company focused on critical minerals essential to the global transition to clean energy. The company’s flagship asset is the Kalgoorlie Nickel Project (KNP) in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields region, where extensive drilling has defined one of Australia’s largest nickel–cobalt–scandium resources. Ardea’s technical work is aimed at advancing KNP through definitive feasibility and environmental approvals to support future mine development.
In addition to the KNP, Ardea holds a portfolio of tenements targeting nickel, cobalt, scandium, rare earth elements and gold across Western Australia. Key projects include the Goongarrie Nickel–Cobalt Project, which lies adjacent to KNP and offers exploration upside, and the Pioneer Dome Gold Project, where earlier-stage work is underway. Ardea’s strategy emphasizes the integrated development of these deposits to optimise economies of scale and leverage shared infrastructure.
Ardea Resources serves both domestic and international battery and technology markets, positioning its minerals to meet growing demand for electric vehicles, renewable energy storage and high-strength alloys. The company engages with industry partners, off-takers and research institutions to advance metallurgical test work and deliver high-purity critical minerals. Ardea’s operations are supported by Western Australia’s established mining services sector and access to major transport routes.
Led by Managing Director and CEO Andrew Penkethman, Ardea has assembled an experienced leadership team with expertise in geology, metallurgy, project development and finance. The board and management group are focused on progressing the company’s mineral resources to production readiness, underpinned by rigorous technical studies and environmental management plans. Ardea Resources continues to pursue strategic partnerships and offtake agreements to underpin future development of its critical minerals projects.
